Answers:
I am a little confused by your question. Normally, a comparison to a benchmark is not a comparison to another similar fund but instead a comparison to some standard such as the S&P 500. In actuality Dreyfus does use the S&P 500 as the benchmark to compare the performance of this fund to.

Here is the comparison that Dreyfus makes.

Other similar funds by other investment firms are

T Rowe Price capital appreciation fund

American Funds American Mutual Fund is also similar

If you want to compare to an index benchmark use the S&P 500 and the comparison is here.

You can also select the NASDAQ or DOW to compare to.

This is a large cap blend style fund. You can find many other large cap blend funds here...
